cheap.

kind neighbors and friends who as
sisted US in my wife's long sickness.
Would also say that she is now slow
~ improving and am in hopes that in
few weeks she will again be restored
to her usual health. HENRY WAIT.
We doubt if it is generally known
that E. S. Robinson has bath room
connected with his establishment. 1t
is fact, however, and furthermore
the room is always warm Saturdays
and Sunday mornings, and any other
time on short notice. Hot and cold
water and everything else necessary
for refreshing and comfortable swim.
The attendance in the Academic |
of the school is even larg- |
er than in the fall, new ones coming |
in this week, bringing the number to
about 80, and all the other depart
ments are we'll filled. Miss Delano
thought it best not to continue her
teaching in the grammar department,
and is succeeded by Miss Williamson,
graduate of ST. Johnsbury Academy.
We were handed bag of crackers
the other day just taken from the oven
at the Morrisville bakery. They were
fine and nice as any one could ask for.
By the way, read their new advertise
ment, then drop in and see them. The
firm has engaged the services of NJ.
P. Stoughton, who will travel for them

live fellow, with a wide circle of ac
quaintances.
The annual meeting of j, M. War
ner Post for the election of officers
will be held next Friday evening, De-
cember 9, at o'clock. The meeting
is called thus early that the election
may take place and the business be
done, so that all who wish to attend
the lecture of Ex-Congressman Horr
may have an opportunity to do so.
Comrades are requested to be prompt
and on time.
Don't fail to hear Horr, of Michigan,
on ssThe Labor Problem" Friday eve
ming. 1t bids fair to be the most IN
structive and entertaining lecture of
the course. Newport papers speak of
it as the best in their course and the
press everywhere is enthusiastic in the
praise of Mr.. Horn as d brilliant ora
tor, thoroughly conversant with his
subject and delighting his audience
by his wit and eloquence. Tickets
and good seats can be secured at A.
o. Gates store. See advertisement.
We dropped into the foundry re-
| Gently and found business there de-
cidedIy on the boom. Livingston and
Kenfeld are both giving their atten-
ton to the business. Nine men are
now employed, as against two or
three a year ago. The firm has 800
plows in process of construction, be-
sides doing large amount of miscel-
laneous work. They talk. some of
putting up new building and enlarg-
ing the business. Nothing is better or
more helpful to the general business of
town than manufacturing establish
ments, and any town can we'll afford
to give all possible encouragement
and help to such undertakings. Mer-
chants, farmers, doctors, lawyers, yes
and ministers, are all benefited.
This vile has been deprived of the
best show of the season for lack of
proper notice. Last evening, while
most of US were in repose, Churchill
and Joslyn were speeding away neck
and neck for the Malvern Farm. Don't
think it was horse race. Not at all.
1t was square foot and foot contest,
the man making the trip to the farm
and back first, on his own feet, to be
tbs winner. A little horse talk start
ed the programe and clear grit COM
pleted it. OF course "Mun" was the
winner, for light weights are too much
for large bodies in a running match
every time. Six miles in the night
ought to give man fair appetite for
} his breakfast. Give the town little
notice next time. gentlemen, and you
shall have a band and a procession.
